And now, after all this time, we're home together again. And all that staying away, I can't say it was worth it. I can't really name precisely what I was staying away from. It feels like a loss.

pickReally really good. At one level it tells the story of his grandparents. On one side of the family they were Canadians of Japanese descent who were interned in Alberta in WWII. On the other side his grandfather was a soldier captured in Hong Kong who spent 4 years in a Japanese pow camp. At another level it‘s about forgiving ourselves.

My favourite NEVER wins #CanadaReads, and this year I REALLY didn't think it would (especially after the first two days of debates).
But it did!!! And I'm so excited!
The Future by Catherine Leroux, translated by Susan Ouriou is this year's #CanadaReads winner 🏆🎉 I LOVED this book. It is beautifully crafted and demands time, thought, and attention. In return it offers beauty, magic, and hard fought hope. Highly recommended!
Day One about to start! #CanadaReads
Tagged was my favourite, but Bad Cree and Denison Avenue area strong contenders!
pick3.5⭐️ Thought the book was ok. The book started out slow, but seemed to hit its stride about 1/3 of the way through. While I‘m not a huge #romance reader, I thought it hit the right spot after some heavy reading. #2024 #fiction #canadareads #canadian #contemporary #bookclub

I‘ve read 4 of the 5 #CanadaReads books so far, the only one left is a graphic novel. I know I can easily nab the e-book from my library‘s express on overdrive, but when it comes to graphic novels I just prefer the actual physical book, ya know? Sadly I think I have to face reality and accept that I‘m not going to get my hands on the physical one before March!
pickWhat an awesome group of women. This one has been billed as horror, but I found that the horror elements were secondary to an atmospheric story of a family of women dealing with grief, love, trauma, and finding their way back to each other. There is so much love in this book and this family, the relationships are beautiful and heart felt.
